Coverton (2) – Talks up a storm.  Likes playing football and saying “Touch down!”, candy, helping daddy work on projects around the house, dancing, anything to do with Thomas the train or any “choo choos”, following his brother and sisters around.
As a family, visited Steamboat Springs, sold cotton candy and popcorn as a family at events this summer, read the Book of Mormon during the summer, traveled to Nauvoo, IL, Dave & Mel celebrated 10 years of marriage, visited some local spots and made lots of trips to Utah to visit the fam.


A special prayer that Christmas and all your days will be richly blessed.

We're not alone,
We have a star and it shines today
The love that He gave teaches how and shows the way
That light, it's clear to see If we have faith and believe
Three kings found the Lord and so can we.”
 (From Michael McClean’s “Forgotten Carols”)

Merry Christmas!

Love, Dave, Melanie, Emma, Callahan, Lucy & Coverton
